Bloody Money: Saudi Arabia
Conquers Trump

By Julio Severo

Abandoning some of the harsh
anti-Muslim rhetoric of his presidential campaign and his promises of a “total
and complete shutdown” of the entry of Muslims to the United States, President
Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Islam’s holiest site.

In his first international trip,
Trump, whose campaign advocated “America First,” put Saudi Arabia as the top
priority, above Israel. He’s the only American president to make Saudi Arabia —
or any Islamic nation — his first overseas visit.

He
received a glittering welcome from leaders in Saudi Arabia. He was greeted at
the airport by King Salman, which was notable given that the Muslim monarch did
not show up last year to welcome President Barack Obama on his final visit to
Saudi Arabia.

Trump was joined on the trip by the
CEOs of several major U.S. companies, which announced multi-billion dollar
agreements with the Saudis.

In
Saudi Arabia, he addressed the leaders of 50 Muslim countries saying, “This is
not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different
civilizations. This is a battle between those who seek to obliterate human life
and those who seek to protect it. This is a battle between good and evil.”

In his turn, Saudi King Salman
said, “Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance… it considers killing an
innocent soul tantamount to killing all of humanity.”

Trump said, “Terrorism has spread
across the world. But the path to peace begins right here, on this ancient
soil, in this sacred land. America is prepared to stand with you.”

Trump hailed America’s friendship
with Saudi Arabia, which “stretches back many decades, and covers numerous
dimensions.” It is a markedly different message from his campaign that said “Saudi
Arabia and many of the countries that gave vast amounts of money to the Clinton
Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays.”

Meanwhile, Ivanka Trump, who
accompanied her presidential father in the visit, praised Saudi “progress” on
women’s rights.

The 2016 Trump said that “I think
Islam hates us” and that Muslims have “great hatred toward Americans.” The 2017
Trump asked for unity with Saudis and other Sunni Muslim nations against
Islamic terror.

Saudi Arabia Funds Terror

Yet, how could Muslim nations fight
Islamic terrorism if Saudi Arabia, according
to CBN,
has a prominent role in spreading Islamic terrorism?

A leading spokesman for religious
freedom said years ago that the U.S. government
will make no serious effort to defeat ISIS terrorists because they are Sunni.
William J. Murray, the chairman of the Religious
Freedom Coalition
said the royal family of Sunni Saudi Arabia would not permit any genuine attempt
to stop a Sunni onslaught of terror in the Middle East because it is Sunni
based.

Murray said the United States has
been the “puppet” military of the Saudi royal family, attacking and isolating
Shia nations such as Syria. In his view the Shia majority state of Syria, which
protects the Christian minority, is a target of the United States only because
the Saudi royals are giving the orders, not the American people.

Trump, who has condemned Syria’s
President Bashar Assad for committing “unspeakable crimes against humanity,” has
been silent on Saudi Arabia and its Sunni allies persecuting Christians and
backing ISIS. Instead, in the first days of his administration he
rewarded Saudi Arabia for fighting Islamic terror.

If
it is senseless to have Saudi Arabia as an ally against Islamic terror, why did
Trump make this Islamic nation his top priority for his first international
trip as a president? The reason is money.

Bloody Money, Bloody Profits, Bloody
Jobs

In his first day in Saudi Arabia,
Trump signed an extraordinary deal worth a total of US$ 350 billion over ten
years. He said, “That was a tremendous day. Tremendous investments in the
United States. Hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United
States and jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Separately, U.S. companies in the
oil center will gain US$ 22 billion in new deals with the state-owned oil
company Saudi Aramco. And pacts with other companies could balloon that number
as high as US$ 50 billion.

Saudi Arabia will “invest a lot of
money in the U.S. and have a lot of U.S. companies invest and build things over
here,” Cohn said.

The
most tangible agreement between Trump and the Saudi leader was the US$ 110
billion sale of military equipment to Saudi Arabia that is effective
immediately. The White House said the agreement will produce “tens of thousands
of new jobs in the United States.”

White House press secretary Sean
Spicer claimed that the US$ 110 billion in military equipment represents the “largest
single arms deal in U.S. history.”

Trump and his team have made it
clear that human rights violations will not affect these deals. So the Trump administration’s logic, which
is very compatible with neocons’ logic,
is that Muslim nations giving massive profits to the U.S. will be allies in the
U.S. fight against Islamic terrorism, even though they fund such terrorism and are
involved in Christian genocide. This is the Saudi case.

Muslim
nations not giving profits to the U.S. will be enemies in the U.S. fight
against Islamic terrorism, even though they protect Christian minorities. This
is the Syrian case.

The secret to conquer Trump, Obama,
Bush and Clinton is profitable economic deals.

How does the United States expect
to defeat Islamic terror if it heavily arms its main sponsor?

How does the United States expect
to defeat Islamic terror if it is economically dependent on its main sponsor?

The Largest Single Arms Deal in U.S.
History

A massive deal of US$ 110 billion
in military equipment represents not only the “largest single arms deal in U.S.
history,” but also a military expenditure bigger than the military expenditure of
nations vastly bigger than Saudi Arabia.

Brazil,
which is territorially the fifth largest nation in the world and it is larger
than the continental United States without Alaska, has an annual military
budget of US$ 24 billion. By far, the small Saudi Arabia has surpassed Brazil.

Russia,
which is territorially the first largest nation in the world, has an annual military
budget of US$ 65 billion. By far, the small Saudi Arabia has surpassed Russia.

Besides its single colossal deal,
Saudi Arabia has an annual military budget of US$ 81 billion.

What does small Saudi Arabia intend
to do with its new huge military equipment purchased from the U.S.? Does Saudi
Arabia intend to use all of it just for itself? Will not it be generous to its
many Sunni brothers fighting for Islam around the world, especially in Syria?

Because of Saudi money, ISIS is
alive and active, committing genocide against Christians.

Saudi Role in the 9/11 Islamic Attack

If America and her leaders were
ashamed of receiving bloody money, they would recognize the fact that most
Muslims terrorists who committed the 9/11 attack were Saudis. But Saudi Arabia
has never been invaded by U.S. troops.

The Saudis have long been suspected
of financing the 9/11 terror attacks that hit New York and Washington.

At the time of the attacks in 2001,
Saudi Arabia was funding Muslim radicalism in mosques and charities. This was
bloody money going to bloody causes.

The bloody money did not stop
there. After the U.S. Congress passed a new law allowing 9/11 victims’ families
to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts, Muslims mounted an expensive political
campaign, including paying American military veterans to visit Capitol Hill and
warn lawmakers about what they said could be unintended consequences.

What few people knew, including
some of the recruited veterans themselves, was that Saudi Arabia’s government
was largely paying for the effort, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The
Saudi bloody money has conquered America, including Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama
and now Trump, and will produce tens of thousands of new jobs in the United
States.

With the assistance of the fat
Saudi client, the U.S. employment rate will skyrocket. They are bloody jobs.

For Trump, the lucrative Saudi oil
is worth more than the Christian blood spilled by Sunni Muslims backed by the
Saudis.

I believe in capitalism guided by
Jewish-Protestant values. But capitalism without such values is destructive.

Buying
American Silence and Indifference

By
paying Trump over 100 billion dollars for military equipment, Saudi Arabia has bought
American indifference to the Christian genocide by Sunni Muslims and protected
itself from being accused of what it is: the main sponsor of the global Islamic
terrorism.

Saudi Arabia has abundant
petrodollars to buy American indifference, and America has no longer
Jewish-Protestant values to guide her capitalism and reject bloody money.

After
two days of meetings in Saudi Arabia, Trump was scheduled to travel to Israel
and the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis.

Why Trump did not make Israel the
first nation of his international trip is a mystery baffling conservatives and
defying the rhetoric of U.S.-Israel friendship.

Yet, even if Trump had chosen to
visit Saudi Arabia in the end of his list of international trips, this would
not change the fact that Saudi Arabia has been spreading Islamic terrorism
around the world.
